Batman Group September 2012 Solicitations

Alright, quite a few changes to note before the actual solicitations... a lot of which I'm not sure are permanent or not.

Guillem March is of course drawing Talon

Chris Burnham is co-writing the #0 issue of Batman Incorporated

Kenneth Rocafort is no longer drawing Red Hood, he has moved to Superman full time

Andy Clarke continues Batman back up art

Gregg Hurwitz is writing Detective Comics #0, Tony Daniel back on art

Yes, Batwoman is getting a second #0 issue.

Ed Benes on Batgirl, not sure if permanent

Romano Molenaar on Birds of Prey, not sure if permanent

Rafa Sandoval on Catwoman, not sure if permanent

Dwayne Turner on Red Hood, not sure if permanent.

All these covers are "promotional" art, thus not final. (Don't expect much other than the background to change, I'd guess)

Click the jump for full solicitations.
